DMM Revision: Parcel Return Service

Effective January 26, 2020, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), section 505.4.2, to clarify customers’ options to request a change or cancellation of Parcel Return Service retrieval locations.

The Postal Service will add a new section: 505.4.2.10, “Change or Cancel Retrieval Locations.” This new section clarifies the options that customers may use to change or cancel Parcel Return Service retrieval locations (delivery units and sectional center facilities).

Although the Postal Service will not publish these revisions in the DMM until January 26, 2020, the standards are effective immediately.
